From what I have heard, the voting was done in December through the end of the probowl. Its possible some players showed their respect for Russell. But some might have also wanted to presume what he did was because of his support.

Seahawks.com has already teased Wilson, Sherman, Thomas, Okung, Lynch, Harvin and Unger making the list in some order. They also said they know who made it but can't reveal their spot until it's shown. I don't think they would mention those players unless they knew they made it.

Actually it reminds me a lot of the hype Tony Romo got after taking over for Bledsoe halfway through 2006. The man doesn't even have a full season under his belt yet, and in my mind that makes any comparison between him and Wilson premature. Now Kaepernick played very well most of the time (particularly against Chicago and Green Bay) and had a couple of real stinkers against the Rams and the Hawks. How is he going to look after a full 16 game season and likely a playoff game or two?

I think Kaepernick is a good quarterback (certainly an amazing athlete) and has the potential to be a great one even with that douchey bicep kiss pose of his. But he's not there yet. We'll have a much better idea about how he compares to Wilson this time next year than we do now.

Wow I'm surprised he is so low! His injury isn't career altering or anything... he was the leading MVP candidate before his injury against us. #90? He is easily top 25 and with Wilson throwing him the ball this year he will solidify that status.

As far as the remaining Hawks go, I have to hope Wilson will make it in - but everyone seems to give Kaepernick more respect just due to the fact he "lead" a stacked team to the Superbowl. So with that considered, I doubt the players voted him higher than Kap. I think he deserves to be higher of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the players didn't.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Bam Bam creep into the next episode either, in the 70's. He seems to be very well respected around the league - that's what happens when your the most intimidating non-dirty player. He isn't a James Harrison thug, or Rodney Harrison PED user etc.

Anyone want to make me a new signature? I've held out hope long enough.95% of the time I'm viewing here and/or posting is being done on a mobile device. Pardon any spelling, punctuation, or grammar mistakes.

Kaepernick has already been listed as #81 (14th best QB). Wilson is basically confirmed to be on the list somewhere and his spot has not been revealed yet, so the players definitely did vote him higher.

Does anyone seriously believe that Jacoby Jones is better than Percy Harvin?

In 2012, Jones played in all 16 games and his offensive output consisted of 30 catches for 406 yards, one carry for six yards, and one touchdown. Harvin’s season was cut short by an ankle injury in the ninth game of the year, but before he got hurt he already had 62 catches for 677 yards, 22 carries for 96 yards, and four touchdowns. And while Jones is a very good return man, Harvin averaged more than five yards per kickoff return better than Jones (35.9 to 30.7) last year.

Jamie Donnell Dukes (born June 14, 1964) is a former offensive lineman who played 10 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, and Arizona Cardinals, of the National Football League. He played college football at Florida State. He is now employed as an analyst for the NFL Network and resides in Braselton, Georgia.

So he played college at Florida state...so hates Florida guys.

Played for the Packers so hates the Vikings.

Played with the Cardinals so hates the Seahawks.

Mostly though he's just sort of filler. He rarely has a point and when he does it's usually a nugget of common sense he tries to present like he's some kinda genius.

Thanks for that because I had wondered the same thing and never heard of him before seeing him on NFLN.

There's very little chance IMO that Chancellor is on the list. If I recall there are no more than 5-6 safties on the list and We've already covered 3 on the list, So I don't beleive he made it.

The actual poll was "The Top 100 Players of 2012." This was not intended to be a projection of this year, but a recap of last year where Harvin missed half of the season due to injury.

There are 1700 roster grade NFL players and an additional 2000 fringe level players. The top 100 is a very exclusive list that includes slightly fewer than 3 players per team. Harvin's place on this list despite being injured speaks volumes about how players view his potential and is definitely not the slight that some of you appear to be viewing it as. He would be in the conversation for 10th or so if he had played the full season at the same level of production as his first half.

lol at Jacoby Jones being higher than Harvin. Put it this way. Jacoby Jones has played in the league two years more than Harvin and Harvin has 100+ more receptions and 1000+ more receiving yards. Also, the fact that the Texans released Jones last year and their really wasn't a market at all for him. Harvin gets traded to the Seahawks for a bevy of picks including a first and signs a monster contract. Thats telling enough.

And if this list was made in December, no way Jones would have been in the Top 100. He got vaulted in due to his playoff performances.

Oh and the female who is the host of the Top 100 has already confirmed that the Big Three of rookie QBs all made the list.
